DescriptionThe first story page of the issue, featuring the panel that introduced Daredevil to the world! Since Page 1 of this issue was simply a stat of the main cover image, this second page is where the classic character truly began.The cover art of the issue has not survived; however, note that the last panel here provided the image for the corner vignette that was used on the covers of issues #1-4. In other words, this is the only original art element of the cover of #1 that exists. Interestingly, house ads for this issue that ran in other Marvel comics only show the vignette and the logo, suggesting that this image was chosen before the main cover had even been drawn. This first Daredevil story was to be artist Bill Everett's return to Marvel after drawing little for them in the preceding few years (indeed, this issue was his sole Marvel credit for the years 1961-65). But the artist had literally had his work in Marvel books since the start, namely Marvel Comics #1. Hence, it's no surprise Stan Lee wanted his storytelling prowess here. Alas, this was to be the only Daredevil story Everett ever penciled, though he did ink an issue or two in later years. Signed by Stan Lee, in the bottom margin, in 2012. Created at twice-up scale - 12.25" x 18.25". Social/Sharing |

Excellent acquisition! So right about that last panel being the only surviving element of that first cover!

The epitome of what a comic page should be. Love that first panel of the gym exterior. Amazing detail. And that bottom panel is nothing short of breathtaking. As far as Silver Age art pages go, it really doesn't get much better.

I should have gone for this one when I had the chance before it went to auction. I have page 3 and it would have been cool to pair them up! :)

As far as iconic first appearance pages go, this would be pretty hard to beat. And to have one so beautifully drawn is just icing on the cake!
Huge congrats!!!

Can we keep posting our art even if you have won CAF, Dinesh? :) This is one of those pieces that just melts your brain when you think about it; you can't really believe that it ACTUALLY exists somewhere on this planet. What makes FAR more sense is that it has a home and hangs out among the many other treasures that comprise your otherworldly and incredible collection. Sincere congrats. This is a showstopper on so many levels. Brilliant and beautiful and historic and brilliant. And beautiful.
